Microglia are primary immune cells that safeguard the mammalian brain, partly by devouring or 'phagocytosing' pathogens and toxic debris. Recent genetic studies have consistently highlighted the role of microglia in the development ...
New imaging of patients with Alzheimer's demonstrates how a telltale protein spreads throughout the brain based on the phenotype of the disease, i.e., whether the condition is dominated by forgetfulness, or atrophy in a specific ...
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have recently carried out a large-scale analysis of the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveiled a series ...
Two drugs approved decades ago not only counteract brain damage caused by Alzheimer's disease in animal models, the same therapeutic combination may also improve cognition.
A newly discovered gene mutation linked to early onset Alzheimer's disease has been discovered by an international team of scientists, who traced the DNA flaw through multiple members of a single family.
Recent advances in the study of proteomes (i.e., the entire range of proteins expressed by human cells and tissues) have opened new opportunities for identifying the biological markers of specific diseases or mental disorders. ...
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly debilitating medical conditions arising from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Studies exploring the ...
UC San Francisco scientists have found a way to predict Alzheimer's disease up to seven years before symptoms appear by analyzing patient records with machine learning.

Existing research shows a link between hearing loss and the risk of dementia, and a new study adds to growing evidence that vestibular loss can increase dementia risk as well. Results from this work, by a team from the Korea ...
Researchers at Copenhagen University Hospital and Aarhus University, Denmark, have looked into the potential association between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), commonly used antacid medications to suppress stomach acid production, ...
